Sorry I was a bit vague. I have a list of items in an array and each one of
these items are a valid match.

@name = ("E1X","Z42","F11","34F");
@name2 = ("EX","Z242","F1wdf1","32344F");

The arrays are quite big and the letters bear no relation to each other. I
then want to check if these letters will appear in a line and output if
possible.

if /^@name\/@name2\/@name3$/

etc etc

Any single entry from each array will match. The more I look at it the more
I can see that you cannot put an array in a regular expression without some
jiggery pokery. I will do it another way
